rewatching the apothecary diaries and it's one of the best series i've ever watched. maomao is so captivating as a main character. her knowledge and skills allow her to help people, even though she says time and time again she wants to lay low. she doesn't want to get involved, yet puts herself in harm's way to solve the problem. jinshi is so interesting as a character. he puts on a persona and hides his true nature so he doesn't have to get involved with the palace politics, yet he has moments where the TRUE jinshi is shown. he has so much at stake, so much responsibility, yet with maomao he's able to forget all of it and be himself. the mysteries, the writing, the tension, the secrets, all of these things make the series so amazing. the plot is so incredible, jinshi and maomao are amazing characters, and their relationship is so beautifully written. every aspect of the apothecary diaries is incredible.
robin’s backstory is incredibly heartbreaking but so well written. learning the reason WHY ohara was obliterated while also seeing why robin is the way she is. for 20 years she had been hunted by people and the government without anyone to lean on. she lost the library full of knowledge, the archeologists who supported her, and her mother who she had JUST reunited with. she was only 8 years old when she had the entire world chasing after her.
the scholars of ohara had the ability to read poneglyphs that could explain what happened during the blank history. simply wanting to learn more about history is what caused ohara’s destruction. now robin is the only one in the entire world who can learn about what happened during that time. all because one single person is ABLE to learn about what really happened, the world government put an enormous bounty on her so she could be caught one day.
i have always liked robin’s character because of the small moments where it was clear she wasn’t TRULY evil. all she wanted was to get closer to what her loved ones devoted their lives researching. her life has been far from easy, having to run around finding ways to live. hearing people call her a “devil”, saying she couldn’t be trusted when it was all a way for her to live without getting turned in.
the scene where she finally speaks from the heart, shouting “i want to live” is one of the most beautiful moments in media i have ever seen. although it hasn’t been long, but robin has learned what it means to find people who love her. she has a crew full of people who not only care for her, but who would willingly declare war on the world government just to have her back with them.
all those years of suffering, her childhood of loneliness, having to deal with her trauma, have all led to this one moment. now robin can be true to herself. she can say what she truly wants because she isn’t alone anymore. robin now has friends who are willing to protect her.
i love watching edits in my spare time of my favorite characters & ships. especially with a song i love or a song that perfectly captures the characters so well. it just makes me so happy! it’s so beautiful to see so many people love the media i love & be able to create art with it. edits are one of my favorite things about starting a series!!
BYE💔💔💔💔💔💔
despite everything, it’s still you.
this is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen
facing the light
i love this art of the dragons together so much. kusanagi is so talented. they all look so soft and beautiful and so comfortable with each other. i miss them so much and getting art of them together makes me so happy! i hope we get to see all of them again in the manga <3
i’m so kagehina coded that whenever i think of soulmates i think of them…because what else possibly explains their relationship?? from that game in middle school, to meeting again at karasuno?? that fateful meeting at karasuno changed their LIVES!! they became better players, better people, and finally found someone to call a PARTNER all because THEY FOUND EACH OTHER AGAIN! during timeskip, it didn't matter that they were on opposite sides of the world because THEY WERE CONNECTED!! they were destined to stay together forever! i can just imagine them as old grandpas playing volleyball like they were first years again…
one of the many reasons why i love kagehina so much is that they both made such an impact on each other. hinata never had a true team and was the only member, while kageyama was afraid that no one would ever be there by his side during a match. but through fate, they reunited at karasuno and helped each other become better players & people. the amount of time they spend playing and learning together will never end!!
